No Wonder Search Is Easy for American Trained Engineers
June 24, 2009
Information Week’s Rob Preston wrote “Most American Grads Are Unemployable”. While not that surprising, it is easy to understand why azure chip consultants, newly minted search and CMS experts, and SharePoint cheerleaders insist that today’s systems are easy. If you don’t understand, the best way to cover up is to assert that technical challenges are “no problem”. Mr. Preston reported:
Many American grads looking to enter the tech field are preoccupied with getting rich, Vineet said. They’re far less inclined than students from developing countries like India, China, Brazil, South Africa, and Ireland to spend their time learning the “boring” details of tech process, methodology, and tools–ITIL, Six Sigma, and the like. As a result, Vineet said, most Americans are just too expensive to train–despite the Indian IT industry’s reputation for having the most exhaustive boot camps in the world. To some extent, he said, students from other highly developed countries fall into the same rut.
Might be some truth in Vineet Nayar’s pointed comment. He is “the highly respected CEO of HCL Technologies, one of India’s hottest IT services vendors.” For some well reasoned and temperate responses, check out these comments at Reddit. Eloquent for sure.
